Important: PAHO/WHO has stopped collecting country and subnational-level COVID-19 data as of 1 August 2023 and therefore our dashboard will no longer be updated. Public health officers and the international community will continue to be informed through the Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses bulletin and dashboards available here.
Comparison and interpretation of subsequent COVID-19 data should be consulted with the Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses technical area.
